is this safe to use with edible plants and trees such as crab apples

Yes, of course rooting hormone is safe to use with edible plants. All this does is encourage the early production of a root structure. I have used it successfully with rose cuttings but do not how it would perform with trees. Those are usually grafted onto existing stock.

I used it to transplant tomato plants. It worked well for the tomato plants and did not affect the tomatoes in any way. We did not have any problems with the tomatoes that came from the plants we used the Garden Safe Take Root Rooting powder.

Yes. I've used it to help cuttings develop root and also to encourage developtment of the root structure for many of my Bonsai.

It isn't a herbicide so it won't hurt your plants. If you spray edible plants wash them really good or just avoid spraying them. I sprayed my flowers and small garden several times with the stuff. No plants died or appeared to suffer. I spray the trunks of my trees because they are ant super highways

I don't know. I used it to make organic body cream... I am guessing it is edible...

I'm not an expert, but I would say definitely not. This is to be used on furniture. It did a wonderful job in refinishing our teak dining room table. It is definitely not something you want to ingest. When I have applied oil to cutting boards, I have used edible oils - vegetable oil.

Not if you intend to eat cherries that have imadiclopid chemicals in them. This works by the tree soaking up this chemical through its trunk and delivering the poison to all parts of the plant including the fruit. Toxic to insects and toxic to you. Use only to control Emerald Ash borers in ash trees.

I may be mistaken, but I do not believe that it is recommended as a systemic - you can, however, spray the tree thoroughly. I have used it twice (4x actually - 2 in the fall and 2 in the spring) for Black Knot Fungus on cherry and plum trees. For fruit, be careful of the mixture ratio so that you do not 'burn' the tree.

It's safe but I don't know if it's better or more effective than some oil made specifically for treating wooden kitchenware. It's non toxic, odorless, tasteless and antimicrobial ... but it's a water soluble glycerin rather than a water resistant oil so I wouldn't think it would be a very effective wood treatment product. The internet tells me people use mineral oil and beeswax among other things for treating wooden kitchenware.

Based on all that I have read it should be safe. I do not recall a warning for garden use. Ultimately, I think the manufacturer may be best suited to answer your question definitively.

I have not tried that, but I would think so. I actually did use it on apples for my dehydrator.

Yes. Be very careful NOT to get it on any other plant life you do not want to kill.

The way I have been using it is on a one gallon sprayer, I use a cupful. it works on a variety of pests and its safe on edible vegetables and fruits. I have been using it for a few years with good results.

I am not familiar with Asian Pear trees only pear trees I grow are engineered by the University of Florida. I do know that a copper based product can harm a plant more than cure their aliment. This may result in curing the blight but, killing the patient. Peach trees are a good example: copper based products are harmful to them. Only under certain condition can and should they be used.

DonnaThe directions on the container indicate that it is not advisable to put this on anything edible (for humans.) We use it to protect flowers and I spray it on our fruit trees before they blossom to keep the deer from eating the branches. We live in Northern Maine so I'm not sure we would have the same results as Washington State. Other than that the product works very well as far as we are concerned.

When used as directed it won't kill plants. Do not use it on or around vegetable plants you plan to eat fruit from. I would look at a product called termidor for termites... You can view the directions and usage on both these products webpage..

I would think so,it's safe for humans,I even add it in my liquid hand soap in winter to help keep my hands from drying out.

I should think so. It kills crab grass in New Jersey, and crab grass is a tough weed here. It is a "broad-spectrum" herbicide, so it kills grass and all ground vegetation. However, you must use generous amounts and saturate weeds. It is worth it to me as I we have a well for our water needs - Vinegar doesn't pollute groundwater as some popular herbicides do. I hope this helps.
